The purpose of breathing meditation is to calm our mind and to develop inner peace. Breathing meditation is useful to reduce our distractions.

First, choose a quite place to meditate and sit in a comfortable position. You can sit in the cross-legged posture or in any other position that is comfortable to you. If it's inconvenient for you to sit in traditional posture, then you can sit in a chair. You have to keep your back straight to prevent your mind from becoming sleepy.

You can sit with your eyes partially closed and turn your attention to your breathing.

You breathe naturally.

You breathe through your nostrils.

Don't try to control your breathing.

Try to become aware of the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves the nostrils.

Now try to concentrate on this sensation.

This is our object of this breathing meditation.

Try to concentrate on this sensation only.

In the beginning, there will be a great temptation to follow the different thoughts as they arise. But, you should resist this temptation and remain focused on the sensation of the breath. ...
... If you find that your mind has wandered and is following your thoughts, you should immediately return it to the breath. Repeat this whenever your mind becomes wandering.

By doing this continuously, your distracting thoughts will subside and you'll experience a sense of inner peace and relaxation. When your distracting thoughts are calmed through concentrating on the breath, your mind becomes clear.

When the distracting thoughts are subsides, your mind becomes still. You can feel a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within yourself. Stress and tension normally comes from our mind.
